Visiting Santa

Last night I took the kids to see Santa. Our usual tradition it to arrive right when Santa leaves for his dinner break. Arriving as he is leaving is not my plan. It is just how it works out. So our quick trip to see Santa can last 2-3 hours instead of 45 minutes. We get some dinner and walk around the mall for about an hour. We then go back and wait in line for another 30 minutes. Then we finally get to see Santa. Next year, I'll time it better. Though it is better than going on pet night... maybe next year we'll bring Bingo with us.

Sadie was scared to death of Santa. She held on really tight to me and wouldn't look at him. She likes him from a distance. Maybe next year...


If you read Reed's note to Santa, he wrote-- It is better to give than receive. That is definitely Reed's personality. He loves to give his treats to his siblings. Sadie's letter to Santa asked for makeup, jewelery and princess dresses.
